There are more signs that the Dutch housing market is stabilising, with house prices rising just 0.3% between February and March, according to the latest report from national statistics agency CBS.
Compared with March 2025, the rise was 5%, while the number of sales rose 13%, the CBS said.
The figures are based on completed transactions which have been reported to the Dutch land registry office Kadaster and tend to lag behind those provided by estate agents’ organisation NVM.
The NVM said last week prices had fallen by an average of 2.7% in the first quarter – but this is based on transactions by its members only and not all of which have been finalised.
The Kadaster registry also recorded 18,381 transactions in March, a rise of almost 13% on March 2025, as more apartments in particular came on the market. The average price of registered deals last month was just under €485,000.
The NVM said last week that the housing market appears to be stabilising but also suggested that global uncertainties are leading potential buyers to wait. This, the association said, has reduced the number of viewings and bids on some properties, although there are wide regional variations.
